A 'Net' is a regularly-scheduled communications network and is a great way to practice,
 become proficient with your equipment and make contact with like-minded patriots in your area.

Checking in:
If you can’t check in on the radio, or you are listening on a shortwave radio, you can check in electronically using the Net Check In Form.

  • NET WORD OF THE WEEK: The “Net Word of the Week”, originates from the 20m National Voice Net, then broadcasts over the Regional Nets and is finally shared during the local nets. Using a single source demonstrates the effectiveness of the nets, identifies any gaps in the network, and helps us practice passing information.
  • NET CHECK-IN FORM: Let us know you are out there! Use the NET CHECK-IN FORM and let us know how you heard the net! Examples: Monitoring using a Shortwave radio with SSB, Monitoring via websdr, Net Control Station was unable to copy you.
NET CHATROOM: There is a Chatroom available during the nets for AmRRON members. 
The chatroom password is the same as the standard AmRRON member password (used for member directory). 
User your AmRRON Code Name (not FCC call signs) as your user name. CLICK HERE TO ENTER CHATROOM.
